SCOOP: Google has launched an "antiracism" initiative claiming that America is a "system of white supremacy" and that all Americans are "raised to be racist"—including Ben Shapiro, who is depicted as a layer of the "white supremacy pyramid," culminating in "genocide."

Thread.🧵
I have obtained a trove of whistleblower documents from inside Google that reveal the company’s extensive racial-reeducation program, based on the core tenets of critical race theory—including "intersectionality," "white privilege," and "systemic racism."
In a module called "Allyship in Action," Google trained employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, and then rank themselves on a hierarchy of "power [and] privilege," then “manage [their] reactions" through "cry[ing]" and "accessing [their] 'happy place.'"
In a video, guest lecturer Ibram Kendi claimed that all Americans, including children as young as 3 months old, are racist: "To be raised in the United States, is to be raised to be racist, and to be raised to be racist is to be raised to almost be addicted to racist ideas."
Denial of racism is proof that a person is racist. "For me, the heartbeat of racism is denial and the sound of that denial is 'I'm not racist,'" Kendi told Google employees. "It's a critically important step for Americans to no longer be in denial about their own racism."
In another video, guest lecturer Nikole Hannah-Jones claimed that she created the 1619 Project to verify her "lifelong theory" that everything in the modern-day United States can be traced back to slavery: "If you name anything in America, I can relate it back to slavery."
Jones claimed that "the first Africans being sold [in 1619] is more foundational to the American story" than "the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock."

"If you're white in this country," she said, "you are the beneficiary of a 350-year system of white supremacy."
A Google DEI Lead created an internal document called "Anti-racism resources," containing readings and racial-consciousness exercises. One graphic claims that "colorblindness," "Columbus Day," "weaponized whiteness," and "Make America Great Again" are "covert white supremacy."
Another graphic, titled "The White Supremacy Pyramid," advances the idea that conservative commentator Ben Shapiro is a foundation of "white supremacy" and that Donald Trump is moving society on a path toward "mass murder" and "genocide."
In 2015, Google quietly ditched its corporate motto, "Don’t Be Evil." Maybe the company, which has now become the world's library, should revisit that decision.

Magical Centrist (n.): An intellectual who believes that both sides are wrong and that he or she transcends partisan politics through unique brilliance; often a method for securing social status while avoiding tangible commitment; ultimately, ineffective. (See: Libertarian, IDW.)
The entire masthead of Reason magazine in my mentions right now: Image
The problem with blue-city libertarians is that they punt on the difficult political questions and retreat to a status-oriented but ultimately non-threatening ideological pastiche of drug legalization, age of consent laws, and appeals to harmless abstractions.

I was a leftist in college and participated in the big anti-Iraq War marches in DC. I've abandoned the politics of the Left, but on that point—opposition to the Iraq War—the left-wing activists were absolutely right.
What changed my politics? First, spending time with elite campus leftists, who were complete phonies. Then, traveling to 70+ countries during my career as a documentary filmmaker, which obliterated the political myths of the Left and deepened my love for America.
After this, I did a lot of reading—and, lo and behold, the conservative authors provided a better reflection of the reality I had seen as a documentary filmmaker. Sowell, Murray, Dalrymple, Gilder. Then I did the Claremont Lincoln fellowship and that sealed the deal.

Incredible: as America leaves behind hundreds of citizens in Afghanistan, The Bulwark is mad about my tweets.

In a better world, all of the neocons would be airlifted to Kabul tonight to see up-close the disaster they have wrought.
My point—which the warmongers at The Bulwark cannot comprehend—is that the US succumbed to a postmodern fantasy, imagining that we could turn an illiterate tribal society into a progressive-democratic nation, with Pride celebrations and master's programs in gender studies.
The neocons and the woke both fell to this illusion: the neocons believed they could install free markets and democratic institutions ("government in a box"); the woke believed they could change 1,000 years of backwards culture through TED Talks and gender programs.

SCOOP: Verizon teaches employees that capitalism is fundamentally racist, that "weaponized White privilege" is a danger to African-Americans, and that employees should support "defunding the police."

I've obtained whistleblower documents that will shock you. 🧵
Last year, Verizon launched a "Race & Social Justice" initiative and created an extensive race reeducation program based on the core tenets of critical race theory, including "systemic racism," "white privilege," and "intersectionality."
To begin, Verizon diversity trainers instruct employees to deconstruct their intersectional identities, listing their “race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, religion, education, profession, and sexual orientation," then determining their position on the "privilege" hierarchy.

Last year, I broke the story that Springfield, Missouri, public schools were teaching white, straight, Christians that they were "oppressors" and "covert white supremacists."

Now, two brave Springfield teachers are suing the school district for violating their civil rights.🧵
First, Springfield Public Schools forced teachers to locate themselves on an "oppression matrix," which designates "white people," "male assigned at birth," "heterosexuals," and "Protestants" as oppressors.
Next, the district taught teachers that they suffered from "covert white supremacy," which includes "colorblindness," "tone policing," "white silence," "calling the police on back people," and "BIPOC as Halloween costumes."

SCOOP: Bank of America Corp. teaches employees that the United States is a system of "white supremacy," promotes "the abolishment of the police," and instructs workers to "decolonize [their] mind[s]" and become "woke at work."

The whistleblower documents will shock you.🧵
Earlier this year, Bank of America and the United Way implemented a race reeducation program called United in Action, encouraging employees to participate in a "Racial Equity 21-Day Challenge," built on the principles of critical race theory and intersectionality.
On day one, Bank of America teaches employees that the United States is a "racialized society" that "use[s] race to establish and justify systems of power, privilege, disenfranchisement, and oppression, which "give[s] privileges to white people."
